Week 0 Overview

Hello!  I'm glad to see you here in the week before classes start.  I know there can be a lot of adjustment to taking a class online, particularly if this is your first time doing so.  The options listed below should help you figure out how stuff works, and I hope you can do some playing around with things.

Don't be afraid to push buttons or links, and see how things work.  Nothing will break, don't worry.  

In this pre-quarter week's module, I've given you a link to the school's e-Learning website, which has some great content about what Week 0 is.  Below that is information about how to navigate our new Course Management system (Canvas), as well as update your profile so that you can share a picture and a little about who you are.  Also, you'll see an Introductions discussion forum, so that you can try your hand at posting and reading the posts of others.   A couple of short web articles have been added, as well, to get you prepared for success this quarter.

If you want to check in and send a more personal "hi," feel free to send me a message using the "People" link to the left.  Otherwise, have at it!

LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of this week, you should be able to:

  1. Edit your Canvas Personal Profile & view other profiles in the class
  2. Post and reply to posts in a Discussion Forum
  3. Navigate the basic course structure
